Flea Market Finds....part 1

It has been such a busy couple of weeks.  And still so much I need to get finished....two  special projects...trying out some new techniques....my spiderweb quilt and still plugging away on the hexagon quilt.  Whew!!!

But today I had a very fun day with my husband at the Springfield Extravaganza!!! 

I have never been to the BIG Flea Market in Springfield and I was really shocked at the number of vendors at the show!  Unreal!!!  They had everything!!!  I sort of knew it would be big so I had in my mind what I was looking for....vintage fabric and, hopefully, feed sacks. 

Well, apparently, I was not the only one in search of feed sacks.  I was told by several vendors that they were a hot item and most were sold during the early bird hours.  But I was able to find an apron made with the sweetest fabric.

          
Isn't this fantastic?  I will use this in some fun projects ;)
Never fear, I found a few other great buys....I will show you later....

Today I began another small quilt using a quilting technique I have wanted to try.  Here is just a little peek....sorry I didn't have much time to get things together.  So stay tuned!


I am loving these big checks!!!
Finally, thanks everyone for showing your favorite fabrics and playing along!  Suz and I had a great time looking at all the fabrics and the stories behind them ;)
Hope the rest of your Sunday is wonderful...see you tomorrow!
